The challenges we’ve had personally and globally have been the catalysts needed to let go of old ways of being that aren’t the vibration of love.
MARCI SHIMOFFI wanted to know if we could live in that state of love, not just every so often, but as an ongoing reality. The answer is YES. There are people who are doing just that, and I wanted to share with the world how they’re consistently living in a state of love.
MARCI SHIMOFFWhen we’re feeling fully alive, we’re able to fully feel love. This doorway also relates to feeling our feelings fully. Not suppressing our feelings of anger, sadness or grief but allowing them to be felt. What’s amazing is that when those feelings are felt, they actually dissolve into love.
MARCI SHIMOFFI’ve found the best thing to do is to really be loving, kind, forgiving and compassionate with yourself. There are some wonderful practices for that which I talk about in Love For No Reason.
MARCI SHIMOFFEasy to read, yet filled with wisdom that will penetrate your heart, this book puts the power back in your hands. It’s a must have.
MARCI SHIMOFFAnd finally, there’s the seventh doorway, the Doorway of Oneness, which corresponds to the crown center, located at the top of the head. This doorway has to do with feeling whole and connected to all of life, connected to spirit.
MARCI SHIMOFFResearchers tell us that we have about sixty thousand thoughts a day.
MARCI SHIMOFFBring happiness to your everyday experiences rather than try to extract happiness from them and however life looks, you’ll be happy.
MARCI SHIMOFFLike your weight set-point, which keeps the scale hovering around the same number, your happiness set-point will remain the same unless you make a concerted effort to change it.
MARCI SHIMOFFI’ve come to see that I have two choices in how I approach change: I can either resist change or be open to what’s ahead and feel the peace that “all is well in the universe.” When I lean into the latter, I feel excited about the future.
MARCI SHIMOFFThe second doorway has to do with vitality. It’s about feeling alive, vital, and feeling the life-force flow through us. This doorway is also known as the creativity center and it houses a great sense of aliveness in it.
MARCI SHIMOFFGo for the sense of inner joy, of inner peace, of inner vision first and then all the other things from the outside appear.
MARCI SHIMOFFWhen people are deeply happy they bring a sense of purpose with them wherever they go, whatever circumstances they are in. So if they’re changing the oil in the car, they bring a sense of joyful purpose even to that.
MARCI SHIMOFFThe first doorway (or chakra) is what I call in the book, the Doorway of Safety. This doorway relates to feeling safe in life and being present in the here and now. It’s only when we are really grounded and safe that we’re able to relax and open up our hearts.
MARCI SHIMOFFWhen you forgive, you heal your own anger and hurt and are able to let love lead again. It’s like spring cleaning for your heart.
MARCI SHIMOFFThe sixth doorway is the Doorway of Vision. This relates to seeing with the eyes of love and corresponds to the energy center located in the third eye area of our forehead. When this doorway is open, we’re more able to see life through love instead of differences.
